Today we’d like to introduce you to Malaysia Harrell
Hi Malaysia, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My story is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose—a journey that began in the most challenging of circumstances. I grew up in a tumultuous environment, riddled with abuse and poverty. My childhood was defined by instability and the constant fight to survive, yet it was during those early years that I learned the power of faith, hope, and perseverance. Despite the darkness surrounding me, I held onto the belief that life could be different, even though I didn’t yet know how to make that a reality.
As a young girl, I often felt unseen and unheard, but I channeled my pain into a fierce determination to create a better future for myself and others. These experiences fueled my passion for service, leading me to a 20-year career in the United States Air Force and Public Health Service. While I wore the uniform with pride and honor, my greatest battle came after I retired: a near-death experience in 2020 that profoundly altered the trajectory of my life.
That moment forced me to confront not only my mortality but also the unhealed wounds of my past. It was a season of reckoning that demanded healing on every level—physical, emotional, and spiritual. During my recovery, I tapped into my training as a licensed psychotherapist and hypnotherapist and embraced holistic healing practices, including mindfulness, the law of attraction, and psycho-cybernetics. These tools helped me not only recover but emerge with a renewed sense of purpose.
It was in this season of rebuilding that I founded Blissful Life Consulting—a wellness and transformation brand designed to help others heal, align with their divine assignment, and manifest their best lives. My journey has since evolved into empowering high-achieving women to transition from success to soul fulfillment. Whether I’m leading retreats, coaching one-on-one, or speaking on stages, my mission is clear: to inspire others to rise like a phoenix from their challenges, embrace their divine light, and create lives of abundance and joy.
In 2024, I authored God Has My Six, a deeply personal account of my journey from brokenness to wholeness. The book reflects on the moments when I felt abandoned but discovered God’s unwavering presence and guidance. It serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of faith. The book will be launching January 2025.
Today, I am proud to serve as an international keynote speaker and spiritual transformation coach, helping others transform their pain into purpose. My journey from a childhood of adversity to a life of empowerment is living proof that no matter where you start, your story can be rewritten into one of resilience, hope, and triumph.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The road to where I am today has been anything but smooth. Each phase of my life has brought its own unique challenges, from battling self-doubt rooted in my childhood to navigating the complexities of military life as a leader and caregiver. There were moments when the weight of my responsibilities felt overwhelming, especially as a woman striving to break barriers in environments where my voice wasn’t always heard or valued.
One of the most difficult chapters came after my military service, when I was faced with a near-death experience. While this event catalyzed my transformation, the journey through it was grueling. The physical toll of multiple surgeries, the emotional strain of feeling misunderstood in medical settings, and the mental exhaustion of healing from both visible and invisible wounds tested me in ways I could never have imagined.
Beyond my personal health struggles, building my business, Blissful Life Consulting, came with its own set of challenges. Transitioning from a structured military career to entrepreneurship required me to develop a completely new mindset. I had to learn to navigate the business world, where resources weren’t always readily available, and I encountered countless moments of trial and error. Balancing my personal healing journey with the demands of creating and growing a brand that reflects my purpose was no small feat.
There were also moments of deep vulnerability as I shared my story publicly for the first time. It’s not easy to speak about trauma, but I knew that doing so was necessary to connect with others and inspire them to heal and transform. Facing this fear taught me that authenticity is one of the most powerful tools for growth.
Additionally, stepping into the role of a coach and speaker meant overcoming my own internal barriers. I had to silence the voice of imposter syndrome that whispered doubts about whether my story and experiences could truly help others. I also had to learn to trust the process and lean into my faith, even when I couldn’t see the full path ahead.
Despite these struggles, each challenge has been a stepping stone, shaping me into the person I am today. I’ve learned that adversity is not the end of the road; it’s often the detour that leads to something greater. The lessons I’ve gained through these experiences now form the foundation of the work I do, helping others navigate their own challenges and find alignment with their purpose.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
As a spiritual transformation coach, my mission is to guide high-achieving women on a journey of transformation—helping them move from external success to inner fulfillment and alignment with their divine purpose. My personal brand of coaching is rooted in authenticity, resilience, and empowerment, blending my own life experiences with proven strategies to help others create lives of meaning, joy, and abundance.
What I Do & Specialize In
I specialize in working with women who feel called to expand beyond traditional definitions of success. While they may excel in their careers, relationships, or personal achievements, many find themselves yearning for deeper fulfillment, creative freedom, and alignment with their true purpose.
My coaching focuses on helping clients:

What Sets My Coaching Apart
What sets my coaching apart is the deeply personal nature of my work. My journey—from a tumultuous childhood and military career to overcoming a near-death experience—has taught me that transformation is possible for anyone willing to take aligned action. I bring a unique combination of professional expertise as a psychotherapist and holistic healer, alongside real-life experience navigating challenges and emerging stronger.
My coaching is also highly integrative. I blend evidence-based practices with spiritual tools, allowing clients to achieve both practical results and profound inner growth. It’s not just about reaching goals—it’s about creating a legacy that reflects their highest potential.
What I’m Most Proud Of
I’m most proud of the transformations my clients achieve. Seeing women step into their power, heal from past wounds, and live lives of abundance and alignment is my greatest reward. I’m also proud to offer a safe, empowering space where my clients can be vulnerable, discover their true selves, and take courageous steps toward their dreams.
Another personal milestone is the upcoming release of my book, God Has My Six, which reflects the heart of my coaching philosophy. It’s a story of resilience, faith, and transformation, designed to inspire others to embrace their own journeys of growth and healing.

Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
Absolutely! There are so many resources that inspire and guide me in both life and work, and much of that inspiration stems from the work I do at Blissful Life Consulting and my role as an expert contributing writer for Holistic Life Magazine. These platforms allow me to explore and share insights that not only impact others but also deepen my own understanding of holistic wellness and transformation.
The Work That Inspires Me
At Blissful Life Consulting, we are dedicated to holistic wellness and transformational growth. Our work includes cutting-edge research into alternative healing methods, mindfulness practices, and the mind-body connection. This research informs the services we offer—one-on-one coaching, corporate wellness programs, and retreats—and it fuels my personal commitment to learning and growth. Witnessing the profound impact this knowledge has on clients inspires me to continuously explore new ways to foster healing and alignment.
Through my contributions to Holistic Life Magazine, I have the privilege of sharing these insights with a broader audience. Writing articles on topics like mindfulness, manifestation, and holistic approaches to well-being allows me to connect with readers who are seeking tools to live healthier, more aligned lives. Being part of a platform dedicated to wellness inspires me to dive deeper into research and remain at the forefront of holistic practices.
Books That Transform
Books have always been a cornerstone of my personal and professional growth. Some of my favorites include:
The Way of the Spiritual Entrepreneur by Pauline Nguyen, which beautifully merges spirituality and business success.
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, a timeless resource for staying present and grounded.
Key Person of Influence by Daniel Priestley, which has helped me refine my vision for both my personal brand and Blissful Life Consulting.
The Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes and Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins, both of which encourage boldness and resilience.

These books, among others, have shaped my approach to coaching and inspired many of the strategies I use in my work.
Podcasts and Visual Media
In addition to books, I turn to podcasts and documentaries for inspiration. Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast and Oprah’s SuperSoul Sundays have been instrumental in helping me refine my vision and stay inspired. Documentaries like Heal have greatly influenced my perspective on alternative medicine and the power of the mind in healing.
Blissful Life Consulting Blog & Holistic Life Magazine
Writing is one of the ways I connect with my mission and share what I’ve learned with others. Through the Blissful Life Consulting Blog, I reflect on the transformative lessons I’ve gained through research, client work, and my personal healing journey. As a contributing writer for Holistic Life Magazine, I’ve expanded this work, creating content designed to educate and inspire readers who are on their own journeys toward holistic well-being. Sharing these insights reinforces my own learning while offering actionable tools to others.
Learning Through Service
Perhaps the most inspiring aspect of my work is witnessing the transformations in those I serve. Whether it’s a high-achieving woman discovering her divine purpose or a veteran embracing resilience and healing, every success story reminds me why I do what I do. These experiences push me to continue growing, learning, and evolving to better serve my clients and readers.
These resources, combined with the impactful work of Blissful Life Consulting and my writing for Holistic Life Magazine, fuel my passion for holistic wellness. They remind me that growth, healing, and alignment are possible for anyone willing to embark on the journey.
